Animal League News

Hi… my name is Summer,

Friends, both two-legged and four-legged, make ALL the difference! When I first arrived at TALGV, I was scared and unsure—found alone in a parking lot, dehydrated, and covered in dirt. Kind hands helped me heal, but it took time before I believed life could feel safe again. Then came my doggie “big brother,” and everything changed. I warmed up faster than pavement in July once I had a friend to show me the ropes. We play, nap, and explore together, and he’s helping me master my leash skills and my confidence. My tail wags faster every day as I’m learning how fun it is to be a dog. Now, I just want to be yours!

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.

Hi… my name is Raven,

Adopted 10-16-25

Foster Notes: Raven – he was really rambunctious when he first came to stay with us, but he has calmed down quite a bit and will cry out to be picked up. He likes toys the most of all 3 and enjoys playing with them and tugging on an old sock or whatever with a human (he will run after a small ball where the other two are less interested). He is also very sweet and also likes being held and cuddled. His favorite activity is wrestling a toy away from Boo or Poe. He is the least potty trained of the three and slightly less interested in food than the other two. He is very athletic and needs to move a lot. He loves new sounds (like a drum or ukelele and listens intently).

All three puppies know to go outside to the front porch after a meal and overnight consistently go potty in the same corner of the pen. They come when called and are really good sleepers (they sleep pretty much 6-9 hours at night – which is amazing). They make a small yelping sound if they want to be held (not that often, but sometimes). They all love Sarah Brightman music or any soothing music and fall right to sleep to it. We played music when the wrestling was getting a bit out of hand and it seemed to do the trick. We did not try to take them on any walks and just kept them in a few rooms in the house and the enclosed front porch. They were held a lot by our family members and some friends and seemed good with all kinds of people both male and female, but no kids that we know (sorry!). They never went potty when holding them.

Boo

Hi… my name is Boo,

Adopted 10-18-25

Boo is the strongest and most assertive of the 3. She LOVES to wrestle with her brothers and prefers that activity over toys. Raven and Poe look up to her and follow her lead. If Boo barks or is afraid – they bark and are afraid too. If she’s calm they are all calm. She’s the bravest and when she tries something new, they then copy her. When all 3 are together she will snap at our kitty or at Katy (another doggie who visits us) and seems scared. However, when we hold her away from her brothers she doesn’t bark and is calmly sniffing them. Boo is really smart and sits and stays well. She is the furthest along in being potty-trained and does her business as soon as she’s let outside. She’s very sweet and likes being held and falling asleep in your lap. She listens and is curious. She likes to lick and chew (especially shoes). Boo loves the little furry doggie bed and drags it around and often tries to dump the other 2 out of it, but usually the 3 end up sleeping all together in it. Hopefully she can keep the doggie bed with her for a while until she has a new home. All 3 puppies know to go outside to the front porch after a meal and overnight consistently go potty in the same corner of the pen. They come when called and are really good sleepers (they sleep pretty much 6-9 hours at night – which is amazing). They all love any soothing music and fall right to sleep to it. We did not try to take them on any walks and just kept them in a few rooms in the house and the enclosed front porch.

Poe

Hi… my name is Poe,

Adopted 10-18-25

Foster Notes: Poe – he was definitely the runt when we first got him and had a hard time fending off the wrestling overtures of the other two. He’s since gotten a bit stronger and has learned that if he barks, he can get the other two to back off a bit. So he barks the most of the three (at his siblings but not at people) and is quite fast and resourceful. He loves playing with his siblings but uses brain instead of muscle to try and outsmart them. Poe will often sit and chew on a toy while Boo and Raven tussle with one another. Poe likes to dig and find things (like if you hide something in the sand). He is very calm and loving and also likes being in your lap. He is totally food-oriented and more independent than the other two.  All 3 puppies know to go outside to the front porch after a meal and overnight consistently go potty in the same corner of the pen. They come when called and are really good sleepers (they sleep pretty much 6-9 hours at night – which is amazing). They make a small yelping sound if they want to be held (not that often, but sometimes). They all love any soothing music and fall right to sleep to it.

Frankie is a spunky and loyal 7-year-old, 47-pound Heeler mix female who needs a new home. She is crate trained, leash trained, and obedience trained (knows: sit, go to your bed, lay, shake, stay, wait and leave it). She is housebroken and asks to go out. She is in good health, spayed, and medical records are available. Frankie usually gets along with other dogs and children and is a great companion, but she mostly likes her own space. She does not like sudden loud noises. She likes to play with her stuffed animal and ball and enjoys lounging in the sun, going on desert strolls, rolling in the grass, going camping, and car rides. There is no adoption fee for this sweet girl.

If you will welcome Frankie into a loving home as part of your family, please call Isadore between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 520-999-1157.

Hi… my name is Walter,

Adopted with Bear 9-13-25

I’m the handsome, quiet type. Think of me as the guy at a party who hangs back, observing. While I may not make the first move, I promise I’m worth the wait. What I know for certain is how much I love other dogs! They give me courage and bring out my playful side. With people, I take more time, so the 3-day, 3-weeks, & 3-month guideline TALGV encourages will help me adjust. If you don’t mind, I’d rather skip sleeping in a crate (not a big fan) and maybe cuddle with you? I’m already house-trained, non-barking, and easy to walk on leash—I don’t react to other dogs at all. With patience and love, I’ll show you the loyal, gentle heart beneath the shyness. Looking for perfection in dog form? Ask to meet me.  Love, Walter.

Hi… my name is Winston,

Adopted 6-23-25

While I don’t wish to dwell on scandal, I was, rather unceremoniously, found behind a Walmart. Why I was there is a mystery, even to me. I hadn’t planned on shopping, I lacked both a list and a wallet, and truly, where would I even put a wallet? At a distinguished 8 years of age, I am a proper Heeler mix with impeccable leash manners and a gentle soul. Walks? Divine. Conversation? Delightful. Recently, I’ve completed the procedure that renders one a “responsible canine,” and the volunteers say I’m quite ready to mingle in Play Group—how festive! I enjoy the simple pleasures: companionship, a good breeze, and a quiet spot to observe the world. If you’re seeking a dignified gent with charm and a touch of mystery, I daresay we might be a perfect match.

Hi… my name is Dolly,

For seven wonderful years, it was just me and my dad—and I loved him with all my heart. When he could no longer care for me, my world changed, and I’ve been missing him every day.  The TALGV volunteers are dedicated to finding the perfect home for me. I’m housebroken, walk nicely on a leash, and though I’m a bit shy at first, I warm up with patience and kindness. I’m on a little diet right now—food hasn’t been my focus since arriving—but I’m slowly starting to feel better. I believe there’s a family out there who will help my heart heal. Someone who understands that love takes time, but it’s worth it. I’m ready to find my second chance… a home filled with comfort, care, and a place to belong again.

If you are considering adoption, please call TALGV office (520-625-3170) and make a date to meet me soon. Kennel appointments are between 10 and 2 every day.
